i honestly dont understand your concept..... I think of god as everything in the universe. everything is interconnected, and i believe we are the cells of this higher being.

if there is a god, do you think he is "good" or "bad" or that there are numerous gods of such qualities or...?

Everything is the way it is because he wants it as such. He breathes life into characters, gives them a past and a personality, gives substance to the world around them. An author is as much a god as anything in this universe.
And who's to say that somewhere, someplace, that story isn't really happening? Can you really be so sure? Give it some thought, it's kind of interesting.
For all we know, every piece of fiction since the dawn of time has created a universe of its own in some kind of alternate dimension.
Maybe thats why they say the printing press was one of the greatest inventions... when each of those books were being printed up they were actually creating NEW UNIVERSES

you believe we were evolved from monkeys? That theory is such bull.

Yes it's really far fetched. No evidence=far fetched.
So what if this has all happened before?
If figures this post would be about God and you like taking giant leaps in your imagination and somehow thinking it might just be true because you thunk it.

That's contributing something to the thread! It denounces the idiotic theory of evolution from prime apes. (well maybe it would take a lil more evidence)
As i said, god to me , is everything around us. We are god, a rock is god, and bird is god. All of these things are symbols of life, and god IS life. We are all interconnected, and live in a system of thought and consciousness.
Every living thing, is just a shell for consciousness. And the eye is the connection binding all.

That's primates, not "prime apes," and humans ARE primates. What does this have to do with this topic?

IMO it was contributing subjective garbage without evidence to back it. So yeah I guess you're right. It's like when the parents of a child die and they pass a donation plate for the child's welfare and people put in cash and you throw in your candy wrapper. Technically that is a contribution. So I stand corrected.

I do think of 'god' as the collection of everything in existence, but of course there are different meanings associated with that word. The 'god' I am referring to is the intelligence I think could have created our universe (physical reality), but I'm sure if there were an intelligence responsible for us, that there is also an intelligence responsible for our creator. The coil continues ad infinitum.
An author does indeed create miniature realities. His spoken language condenses into written language and more concrete, more solid realms of imaginary existence. Written language I think has condensed into this sort of 'virtual reality' existence we have now. Movies, television, the internet, and video games are all miniature realities, the latter two being amazingly advanced, approaching (distantly) the kind of detail found in reality.
Yeah, this is all speculation, but I'm just looking at how easy it is to become god of something. I can write a story and become god over my characters, and no argument can change the fact that my writing has SOME kind of existence, and relative to the characters in the writing, it is unshakably real.
So since it's so easy for any of us to become god, it doesn't seem like too big of a leap to assume something else did this and created us. Some say that at a subatomic level, everything is based on different vibrational frequencies that determine the physical characteristics of everything. So reality might be just information of a different kind than we are used to.
___________________________________________________
I wrote all of the above, then got a phone call, then got high and played the organ for a while, forgetting that I was writing a post. I came back, read what I wrote, and think I figured it out.
Our thoughts are of an organic structure, just like any other part of life. We form mental realms in the very same way that a tree makes its fruit.
My saying that the universe is just a thought formed by a thinking being is missing the point. I might as well say that the universe is a fruit on the tree of existence. The universe is an organic thing, formed by the continuous pattern of existence.
Just like a thought, just like a fruit, but actually just the universe.

All of these are very interesting and well thought out intelligent perceptions. The key word is perception, how does our brain allow us to perceive what occurs around us. I think psychedelics, no matter what chemical explanation supplied, are a glimpse into another dimension of altered perceptions and realities. One might ask us why are hallucinogenic effects of shrooms similar from user to user? is their an alternate perception of reality that shrooms spark in each person similarly? what we can define is we are, all of us, among a reality on earth in which there is a thin vale between the here and now, and the other side(s). Hospice workers note experiences of people knowing it is time to leave earth, and reaching an understanding that our body is purely a physical shell for our thought, and that there is a passing into another realm. which we have not, as living entities, experienced, and once experienced we are beyond earthly bodies to pass on. such is that makes death and alternate realties a idea that cant be explained.

That's not the full paradox. The paradox is that God is everything, and yet beyond everything. Or, phrased another way, God is simultaneously immanent and transcendent. This paradox in Kabbalah is known as tzimtzum.

Maybe each of us is experiencing a separate universe, our perception is so subjective it encompasses all existence. What we see as god, is merely a higher self dictating /aiding our limited perception (ego?). Additionally what we perceive as others, are merely other entities, other gods creating their own universe while trying to interact with each other on a different level. One not aligned with the physical universe we perceive.
Or maybe god is a flying monkey.
PS. Prove to me we did not evolve from monkeys. (I can do a pretty good impression of a monkey! Oo oo, AH Ah! The girls like it in bed)
-------------------- What boundlessness the pit of consciousness travels toward an infinite being. The cave is full of tumultuous obstacles, webs seemingly inescapable. There lies the path of knowledge forming thick and thin quantum fluctuations of living operations. And its inescapable quality of beauty is far beyond the reflection of its depths. Further I fall diving head first downwards into a black hole, plunging with intension to ascension.
